Creating Jobs
When Nikki became governor, South Carolina faced record unemployment and years of economic decline. Nikki threw herself into bringing jobs to her home state and proving that South Carolina—and America—could be a manufacturing powerhouse. Nikki cut taxes, nixed burdensome government regulations, and made small businesses a state priority. At the end of Governor Haley’s tenure, more South Carolinians were working than at any other time in history, and South Carolina was outperforming the national average. Thanks to her efforts, South Carolina’s economy was nicknamed “the Beast of the Southeast.”

Holding Politicians Accountable
When Nikki was first elected to the state legislature, South Carolina was a transparency mess. Taxpayers couldn’t hold politicians accountable because much of the legislating happened in secret. Nikki was determined to change that. She took on the establishment in both parties by introducing and ultimately signing a bill that put votes on the record. Nikki also championed and signed an ethics reform package that created an ethics commission to investigate legislators for misconduct (instead of legislators investigating themselves) and required politicians to disclose their private income.

Standing Up for the Unborn
Nikki was one of the most pro-life governors in America. In her role as South Carolina’s first female governor, she showed that being pro-life isn’t about politics. It’s about protecting the most basic right there is—a baby’s right to life. She spoke openly about her own struggle to have children and her husband’s adoption. She made the case for her pro-life values as a mom and a wife who is blessed every day to have her husband, daughter, and son in her life. As governor, she signed many important pieces of legislation, including the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act and the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (outlawing abortion at 20 weeks). Nikki also worked to encourage a culture of life that helped pregnant women and new moms get the care they needed. At the UN, Nikki continued to champion life, condemning violent regimes that use forced abortion as a means of population control and punishment.

Cracking Down on Illegal Immigration
Nikki is the proud daughter of legal immigrants who believes we are a country of laws, and laws must be enforced. She aggressively cracked down on illegal immigration and took on Barack Obama and the D.C. liberals when they stood in the way. In 2011, she signed one of the toughest immigration laws in the country, giving law enforcement more power to check whether people are illegal immigrants. When the ACLU and President Obama sued, Nikki fought back. When the Obama administration refused to enforce South Carolina’s E-Verify program, Nikki forced the administration to do its job and make sure businesses could verify an employee’s legal status. Nikki also fought to put South Carolina first against President Obama’s radical immigration agenda. The state sued the Obama administration over an executive order giving millions of illegal immigrants temporary legal status. Nikki testified before Congress demanding the Obama administration keep Guantanamo Bay detainees out of Charleston.

Protecting our Elections
Nikki is a vocal advocate for voter ID and signed a voter ID bill into law early in her first term as governor. The law required South Carolina voters to show a photo ID to vote. When liberals attacked the bill, she offered to drive anyone who didn’t have a photo ID to the DMV. When Barack Obama’s Justice Department sued, trying to block the voter ID law, Nikki fought back, and the court sided with South Carolina.

Expanding Education Freedom
Growing up in rural South Carolina, Nikki knows what a difference a good education can make. As governor, Nikki successfully pushed for education reform that focused on improving education for South Carolina’s poorest students. She also signed a charter school bill that expanded school choice, and signed a bill eliminating the federal government’s Common Core standards. Wanting to do more for kids growing up like she did, Nikki founded the Original Six Foundation, a nonprofit that offers additional educational opportunities to kids in rural South Carolina. Now, 11 years strong, the Original Six Foundation has helped more than 20,000 students.

Standing Up to the Federal Government
The federal government tried to tell South Carolina what to do, and Nikki repeatedly told it to take a hike. Nikki rejected Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion because she knew another unfunded mandate would be disastrous for taxpayers. She also defended South Carolina’s right-to-work laws when Obama’s National Labor Relations Board sued the state. She joined other states in suing Obama’s EPA over heavy-handed regulatory burdens and defended South Carolina’s tough illegal immigration laws from D.C. meddling.

Defending our Second Amendment Rights
Nikki is a strong defender of the Second Amendment and fought to protect gun owners’ rights as governor. In 2012, she signed a bill that repealed many of the state’s outdated anti-gun laws. She signed reciprocity legislation with Georgia, expanded concealed carry rights to bars and restaurants, and backed the Constitutional Carry Act that would have eliminated the state’s permitting and training requirements for gun owners.

Helping Veterans
As the wife of a combat veteran, protecting our veterans is personal for Nikki. She focused on easing the transition to civilian life and helping veterans find jobs. It started with “Operation Palmetto Employment,” a one-stop online shop for veterans to find resources, search jobs, post their resumes, and access jobs before the general public. Nikki also signed a bill making veterans eligible for in-state tuition immediately and a bill cutting taxes for veterans who receive military retirement.

Leading in a Crisis
South Carolina faced many unexpected crises during Nikki’s time as governor. A white supremacist shooting. A police shooting. A hurricane. Two ice storms. And a 1,000-year flood. Throughout it all, Nikki offered steady leadership and compassion. When a white supremacist killed nine black people at the Mother Emanuel Church in Charleston, Nikki brought people together in prayer and averted violence. When a police officer shot an unarmed black man during a routine traffic stop, Nikki turned people’s grief into action, signing the first body camera bill for law enforcement in the country. When natural disasters came to South Carolina, Nikki was proactive with life-saving evacuations, and was a constant and comforting presence throughout the recovery process.

Reforming the United Nations
From her first day as UN ambassador, Nikki worked to clean up the corrupt and politically-biased UN. She negotiated $285 million in cuts from the UN budget and reached agreements to restructure the UN, including rightsizing UN peacekeeping missions to make them more effective and accountable. She put our enemies on notice and started a process to slash U.S. foreign aid to countries that refused to have America’s back.

Defending Israel
Nikki has long been a strong defender of Israel. As governor, she signed the first anti-BDS legislation in the country. As UN ambassador, she declared “a new day for Israel at the United Nations” and vowed that “the days of Israel bashing are over.” Nikki urged President Trump to move America’s embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem even when other members of the administration opposed the move. And when President Trump made the official announcement, she proudly issued the first American veto in six years at the UN Security Council, defending the United States’ sovereign right to put our embassy wherever we choose. Nikki changed the conversation at the UN Security Council’s monthly session on the Middle East from constantly bashing Israel to highlighting real human rights crises in tyrannical countries in the Middle East. Despite opposition from the D.C. establishment, Nikki pushed for America’s withdrawal from the anti-Israel UNESCO and withdrawal of funding from the corrupt UNRWA. She was also a driving force behind the United States’ withdrawal from the UN Human Rights Council—an entity she called “a protector of human rights abusers, and a cesspool of political bias.”

Repealing the Iran Deal
Known as the “Iran whisperer,” Nikki played a prominent role in President Trump’s decision to repeal President Obama’s disastrous Iran deal. While others in the administration wanted to keep the Iran deal in place, Nikki made a compelling case for leaving it. She argued that the United States could not ignore all of the regime’s bad behavior, including its continued development of ballistic missiles, its terrorist activities throughout the Middle East, and its refusal to give access to international inspectors. She argued that the Iran nuclear deal made America less safe and praised President Trump’s decertification of it in October 2017.

Advocating for Human Rights
As UN ambassador, Nikki took on the most notorious and evil regimes in the world—from North Korea to Cuba to Venezuela. She took Syria to task for its horrific human rights atrocities and invited survivors of North Korea’s abuse to the UN to give testimony about the regime’s concentration camps, forced abortions, and abductions. Nikki negotiated a groundbreaking arms embargo on South Sudan through the UN Security Council after the council rejected the same effort by the Obama administration in 2016. When Cuba offered up its annual resolution condemning the U.S. embargo on Cuba in 2018, Nikki didn’t just vote against it—she used the opportunity to force UN votes on amendments condemning the communist regime’s human rights abuses. She also led the United States’ withdrawal from the UN Human Rights Council, highlighting the council’s terrible record on human rights.

Getting Tough on China
Nikki turned up the heat on China after decades of soft-on-China U.S. policies. Nikki was a strong advocate of withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris climate accord, arguing that it was a flawed agreement that gave China a free pass and would destroy American jobs. She regularly slams China for committing genocide and was one of the first public officials to call for boycotting the 2022 Beijing Olympics. She also called for bringing manufacturing back to America from China, and argued for strengthening our relationship with Taiwan and other Asian allies.

Sanctioning North Korea
Nikki pushed for a tough stance on North Korea from day one, arguing that American presidents have been kicking the can down the road on the brutal regime for too long. After North Korea fired ballistic missiles in 2017, Nikki pushed for stronger sanctions. This was no easy feat. Through extensive negotiations, Nikki convinced all 15 members of the UN Security Council, including China and Russia, to support the toughest-ever set of sanctions on North Korea. These sanctions cut North Korean exports by 90% and were a massive economic hit to the regime.

Getting Tough on Russia
When it came to denouncing Russia, Nikki did not mince words. Her first speech before the UN Security Council in 2017 criticized Russia for invading Ukraine. She continued to hammer Russia for its military aggression and poison attacks, and demanded that the UN take up the issue instead of protecting Russia. Nikki was one of the administration’s fiercest critics of Russia, declaring that “we should never trust Russia” and Russia is “never going to be our friend.”

Leading in Latin America
With a renewed focus on Latin America, Nikki hammered the region’s communist and socialist dictators. As Venezuela became a humanitarian crisis, Nikki ratcheted up her denunciations of the socialist regime, even joining protesters outside the United Nations on the streets of New York City. She supported strong sanctions on the Venezuelan government and traveled to the Colombia-Venezuela border to highlight the crisis. Nikki also organized the first-ever meeting to condemn the socialist regime in Nicaragua, and frequently spoke out against the Cuban dictatorship

Nikki Haley (R) was the U.N. Ambassador in the Trump administration from 2017 to 2018. She officially announced her candidacy for the 2024 presidential election on February 14, 2023.
Haley has focused her campaign on foreign policy, economic, and immigration issues. She supports U.S. financial aid to Israel and Ukraine, ending congressional earmarks and reducing inflation, and the mandatory use of E-Verify. During her campaign launch, she also called for new political leadership, saying, "We won't win the fight for the 21st century if we keep trusting politicians from the 20th century."

Before serving as U.N. Ambassador, Haley was the governor of South Carolina from 2011 to 2017, and represented District 87 in the South Carolina House of Representatives from 2005 to 2010.

President 2024

Animal Protection
My commitment to advocating for animal welfare is a long-standing and deeply held personal conviction. As President, I will lead on animal welfare by appointing strong leaders at the Agriculture and Interior departments and all other agencies with exposure to animal welfare issues. I’ll support bills that help animals and veto measures that hurt them.

I have long believed in the power of the human-animal bond and the hard-wired connection we have with wild and domesticated animals. Animals enrich our lives and are an antidote to loneliness and sadness. They comfort young and old alike, and make us more human and humane. More than two-thirds of American households have pets and hundreds of millions of us enjoy visiting national parks and other protected areas to see birds and mammals.

Yet there are still too many examples where the human-animal bond is broken and people treat animals cruelly.

Children
The way to take care of our economy tomorrow is by taking care of our children today.

When it comes to health, hunger, addiction, education, and safety – we are shirking our responsibilities as a nation of parents. Child advocacy is not being addressed with the attention and care it deserves. Too many of our children are endangered physically and emotionally. This is a humanitarian emergency.

Climate Action
Our biggest crisis regarding the climate emergency is humanity’s massive state of denial that it exists on the scale it does. Yet willingness to recognize the depth of the problem is prerequisite to our solving it. It is a psychological and moral challenge to face the horror of what stands before us over the next ten years should we not act; yet there – in our standing raw before the truth that it confronts us with – lies our only hope for surviving it.

Crime Prevention
Among all industrialized nations, the United States ranks at the top in violent crime. We have the highest homicide rates, seven times higher than the average for other nations. For much of the neighborhoods and communities throughout the country, our local governments have failed to supply effective crime prevention solutions.

Criminal Justice
America’s criminal justice system creates just results for some people, but it is terribly unjust for far too many others. Research has shown that Our history of “tough on crime” laws have been directly responsible for America becoming the most incarcerated nation in the industrialized world. These laws disproportionately affect minorities and low-income communities. And because we do so little to rehabilitate those who are incarcerated, we have created a revolving door at our jails and prisons. Within five years of their release, three-quarters of formerly incarcerated persons are arrested once again, usually for minor infractions.

Criminal justice has become both a political and moral disaster.

Disability Justice
All people deserve the support they may need to live independently, move around, care for themselves, get an education, vote, and work safely and productively. But people with disabilities are often denied these basic rights. They are often denied vital healthcare and home-based care and assistance they need to live independently. They are too often forced into institutions where they have little freedom and abuse is rampant, and they are impoverished by policies that penalize them for working and earning money.

Economy
A system that does not feel, which has no sense of ethical responsibility to people or planet, is a dangerous guide to America’s future. Living for our principles will provide more economic security than living for short-term corporate interests can ever provide. Our government should not be run like a business; it should be run like a family, where taking care of each other, and taking care of our home, are the values that guide us. America can create a care economy.

Education
Education is more than a pathway to a better job; it is a gateway to a more empowered life. Good universal education is essential to a democracy because it gives the tools to all citizens to think, and to act, with the power that is necessary for self-governance.

A more conscious sense of citizenship is imperative if we’re to right the ship of our democracy; without training in the rigor of critical thinking, we’re less prepared for engaged citizenship. A world class education should be the right of every American citizen, not only for the sake of the individual citizen but for the sake of the country.

Democracy bestows more than rights. It bestows responsibilities as well: the responsibility to analyze intelligently what is happening in our country, and make carefully considered decisions regarding who should represent us. Education gives us a greater ability to direct our own lives, and the destiny of our country.

Food Safety
Over the past century, the advent of modern farming techniques, the corporatization of agriculture, the use of petrochemical-based fertilizers, and the subsidizing and encouragement of Big Ag have collectively created a poisonous brew that is now affecting our health and well-being in critical ways.

Gun Safety
Americans have no way of knowing the consequences, several years from now, of generations of young children going to school every day praying that they will not be shot. Gun violence is the largest cause of death among America’s children. This situation is an emergency, and a President Williamson will treat it as such.

Health
We need a single-payer health care system.

The WHOLE HEALTH PLAN expands the health care debate, tackling not only how to pay for health care but also how to provide greater opportunities for health. The problem in America is not just that our current healthcare system fails to adequately treat sickness. The problem is our current economic system, based as it is on an inordinate focus on short-term profit, actually increases the probability of sickness.

Immigration Justice
Immigrants are not our enemies. I don’t know any progressive who is arguing for open borders, but we are arguing for open hearts. This is so important to remember today as immigrants are often viciously scapegoated. Scapegoating immigrants, particularly Mexicans and Central Americans, is a deliberate dehumanization technique. Dehumanizing others has always been the required first step leading toward history’s collective atrocities. This is not the first time dehumanization has reared its head in our nation, and we must stand up against it now as other generations stood up against it in their time.

Labor
All Americans deserve a job, no matter their education. Every employee should be able to thrive in their workplace, no matter the work. All work should have respect, and all workers should have dignity.

LGBTQIA+ Rights
Our Declaration of Independence holds that the inalienable rights of, “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness,” are endowed to ALL humans by their creator at birth. In 2015, marriage equality became the law of the land, yet there is still no federal law explicitly protecting the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) communities from discrimination. These communities, therefore, do not enjoy the full breadth of freedoms that this country espouses to guarantee to each and every citizen. This is in direct violation of our founding principles.

Mass Incarceration
In the words of John F. Kennedy, “We cannot afford to be materially rich and spiritually poor.” Our system of mass incarceration is a huge wound upon the spirit of America, and that wound can only be healed if we address what it is, how it got here, and how it can be changed.

Central to our problem is a penchant for punishment, rather than rehabilitation, that runs through too much of our criminal justice system. While there are many good people working within the system, institutionally we remain stuck within an obsolete consciousness that does more to prepare people for a life of crime once they get out of jail, than for a life repaired.

Native American Justice
One of the great tragedies of American history, not only for Native Americans, but for European settlers as well, is that we denied ourselves the extraordinary cultural and spiritual possibilities of what might have been. Had a partnership rather than dominator model of social organization been chosen centuries ago, not only Native American culture, but also European American culture, would now be much more advanced. Due to increased historical and spiritual awareness, America is now ready to repair wounds both old and new, so that we can pave the way to a more enlightened future. As President, I would be honored to preside over both.

Pandemic & Long Covid Response
According to studies by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), our country’s inadequate response to COVID-19 has resulted in over 1.1 million deaths and on average over 3200 people hospitalized daily. This means that the pandemic should return to status as a national emergency.

Long Covid has caused both cognitive and physical impairments, and we must ensure those affected are protected in their workplace, as well as with the potential impacts to their housing and healthcare needs. As a country, we cannot compromise on relieving the trauma inflicted upon working people, and disabled and otherwise marginalized communities.

Peace
Ending the scourge of violence in the United States and across the planet requires more than suppressing violence. Lasting peace requires its active and systematized cultivation at every level of government and society. The U.S. Department of Peace will coordinate and spur the efforts we need to make our country and the world a safer place. Nothing short of broad-scale investment and government reorientation can truly turn things around. Both domestically and internationally, we must dramatically ramp up the use of proven powers of peace-building, including dialogue, mediation, conflict resolution, economic and social development, restorative justice, public health approaches to violence prevention, trauma-informed systems of care, social and emotional learning in schools, and many others.

Poverty
It is shocking that in the richest country in the world, well over a third of the American people are poor or near-poor. Nearly 70% of Americans would struggle to meet an unexpected expense of $400, according to a report by the Federal Reserve. The poverty level is a $30,000 annual income for a family with two adults and two children. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that approximately 38 million people were poor in 2021. That means more than one in nine Americans live below the poverty line. Poverty rates are higher for Black Americans and Native Americans – 19.5 percent and 27 percent, respectively, compared to 8.1 percent for non-Hispanic whites. When you include the near-poor, the figures rise to over 93 million people (about 29% of all people) that have income below 200% of the poverty level.

Reparations
I do not believe the average American is a racist, but I believe the average American is undereducated about the history of race in America. When our history is viewed through a clear lens – historically, economically and morally – white America is seen owing a debt to the descendants of enslaved people. That is why I support, and have a plan for, a program of reparations to the descendants of American enslaved people.

Reproductive Justice
Regarding abortion rights, I am one hundred percent pro-choice.

I believe the decision of whether or not to have an abortion lies solely with a pregnant woman, according to the dictates of her conscience and in communion with the God of her understanding. I trust the moral decision-making of the American woman, and I do not feel the government has a right to deny or restrict her decisions.

Social Security
Social Security has worked well for generations to reduce poverty among seniors and the disabled. It is under attack today by Wall Street banks and related financial             “service” entities who want to privatize it for no other reason than to tap into another new and huge source of income and bonuses.

Under no circumstances should we put Social Security at risk. We need to protect this successful and compassionate program that retiring Americans have relied on for nearly eighty-five years.

Student Plan
Every public school in America should be a palace of learning, culture and the arts. That will be a primary goal of the Williamson administration. Education is a central tenet of our inalienable right to the “pursuit of happiness,” as it immeasurably expands one’s ability to actualize our God-given talents. All students deserve a world class public school education.

Women's Rights
One of the most profound shifts of the 21st Century is the emerging power of women. From the #MeToo movement to issues of equal pay for equal work, from shattering glass ceilings to dismantling patriarchal economic and social systems, the 21st Century will continue to see a deep rebalancing of male and female power.

As the first woman President of the United States, I would be deeply aware of my pivotal role in ushering in a new era of female leadership. If I am given the authority, I will use the full powers of the presidency to advocate for the things women care about.[17] [1]
